Product development: RUO Device for selective cell lysis​

Cellectric is developing novel sample-preparation devices for life-science research. Our systems combine electronics, embedded software, fluidics, mechanics, and thermal control in compact laboratory instruments.​

We are looking for a hands-on embedded systems engineer with focus on product development who will take technical ownership of electronics and embedded software while working closely with mechanics, manufacturing, and external regulatory and development partners.​

This role is highly practical and product-driven: from schematic to firmware to assembled product on the bench.

Your Responsibilities​

Electronics & Embedded Software:​

  • Design, build, and iterate electronic subsystems (MCU boards, sensor interfaces, actuators)​
  • Develop embedded software in C/C++ (RTOS-based systems, drivers, state machines, high frequency ADC processing)​
  • Support higher-level tooling and test scripts (e.g. in Python)​
  • Define software architecture with production and maintainability in mind​
  • Debug hardware and firmware using oscilloscope, logic analyzer, JTAG, etc.
  • Design and assemble cables, connectors, and harnesses
  • Hands-on assembly, rework, soldering and prototyping when needed​

Product Development & Testing:​

  • Plan, execute, and document electronic and system-level tests​
  • Support device validation, troubleshooting, and maintenance of existing prototypes​
  • Design for EMC, safety, and robustness in collaboration with external experts​
  • Contribute to risk analysis and design controls (requirements, verification, traceability)
  • Support design for manufacturing, service, and long-term reliability​

Interdisciplinary Work:​

  • Collaborate on mechanical concepts, fluidic- and thermal control, and enclosure integration​
  • Contribute to 3D-printed prototypes and mechanical iterations​
  • Participate in system architecture discussions and product definition​

Your Profile​

  • Strong background in electronics and embedded systems development​
  • Experience with MCUs, power electronics, sensors, and actuators​
  • Experience with PCB development, cable- & connector selection, prototyping and production​
  • Solid embedded C/C++ skills, familiarity with RTOS concepts & state machines​
  • Comfortable working hands-on with hardware and prototypes​
  • Structured working style with documentation and regulatory mindset

Nice-to-Have / Bonus:​

  • Experience with regulatory-relevant product development (EMC, safety, software testing)​
  • Familiarity with medical / biotech or other regulated products​
  • Linux knowledge (embedded Linux, custom distributions, tooling)​
  • Mechanical understanding: tolerances, thermal behaviour, assembly constraints, mechanisms​
  • Experience bringing prototypes closer to production​

Formal degrees and years of experience are less important than demonstrated ability to design, build, debug, and ship real systems.

As an early-stage company, our development environment is dynamic. New data, test results, or external constraints can influence priorities and solutions. This role requires comfort with evolving goals, iterative development, and close collaboration across disciplines to continuously refine the product.​

What We Offer​

  • Deep involvement in building real, complex hardware products end-to-end​
  • Strong interdisciplinary collaboration (electronics, mechanics, fluidics, software, biology)​
  • Direct impact on product architecture and development direction​
  • 38.5-hour work week (full time)​
  • Salary: €53.200 gross p.a. (14x salary payments)​
